I would be very hard pressed to use it as I wouldn't judge anyone's tastes with it but I certainly would use it for someone who consistently adds nothing but rude comments and complaints (especially while contributing zilch to the community).

Anyone who is excessively rude is usually dealt with by the Mods. We've always maintained a "If you don't like it, don't look and/or don't comment" policy here at OCC, so a "thumbs down" button would certainly go against that. That being said, that policy only goes for matters of taste: if you see something that breaks the rules or is illegal, obviously you should report it. As for demanding ZIPs (as opposed to, say, politely asking for them), yeah, it's pretty rude, but there's no rule against it explicitly, and it's easily ignorable, IMHO.
